Dawn Crey. Ramona Wilson. Daleen Kay Bosse. These are just three of the
estimated 500 Aboriginal women who have gone missing or been murdered in Canada
over the past thirty years. In Finding Dawn, acclaimed Métis filmmaker Christine
Welsh takes us on an epic journey into the dark heart of Native women’s
experience in this country from Vancouver’s skid row to the “Highway of Tears”
in northern British Columbia, and onward to Saskatoon, where the murders of
Native women remain unresolved. Along the road to honour those who have passed,
she uncovers inspiring stories of strength, courage and resilience, as
communities come together to stem the tide of violence.
